Shame

It's a shame
It's a shame
It's a shame
It's a shame

Wherever you go, I'll go with ya and
Whatever you smoke, I'll smoke with ya
And whenever you pose, I will take your picture
Even though I just wish I was in it
Just have something to remember

We lit our cigarettes with sturdy thoughtfulness, and
Dreamed of higher consciences, but really one of the opposite and
Who unscrewed the bottle and poured booze onto the flame?
Who gives a damn about all the consequences?
I just wanted to know your name

It's a shame (it's a shame)
But all in love is fair, and it's a shame (it's a shame)
It's pain we have to bear and it's a shame (it's a shame)
When you got no one to blame and you say
Don't go, but they're already there

It's a shame (it's a shame)
It's just a shame (it's a shame, it's a shame)
It's a shame (it's a shame)
It's just a shame, it's a crying shame

Whenever you pay, I'll pay for ya and I
Wherever you lay, I'll lay on you and I
Whatever you sing, I will do the octave
Even though you don't care much for harmonies
I just wanted to give you the option

A drinking woman lies, we fuck and we fetishize
We get clean and testify, we relapse and we justify, but
So many to eulogize when no one calls the prayer
And I guess our love, it just crystallizes and some stays in the air

And it's a shame (it's a shame)
We just can't get along and it's a shame (it's a shame)
When things just turn out wrong and it's a shame (it's a shame)
When you've got nothing left to say
And so, you put it in a song, but you only wanted to explain that

It's a shame (it's a shame)
It's just a shame (it's a shame)
It's a shame (it's a shame)
It's just a shame (it's a shame), it's a crying shame

It's a shame (it's a shame, ooh, ooh)
It's just a shame (it's a shame, it's a shame)
It's a shame (it's a shame, ooh ooh)
It's just a shame (it's a shame), it's a crying shame
